you saved my life with that rusty bolt trick. thank you so much even after 10 years (almost.)

LOL..the number of times I have started tearing things apart only to realize I had no gas is uncountable ..glad you figured it out :)

Talk about Deja Vu, I ran into the rusted out screw problem as well and had to drill. Thanks for the video!

My dude, that was so informational and a joy to watch, thank you so much. But you are a nut case for using power tools right next to the fuel pump and fuel filter hahaha.

Awesome video, just a tad bit late haha. My fuel pump died last week on my c230, did a bit of research and replaced it myself :)

Very nice!! I really help me this vid, I already replace my fuel-filter and I watch this video before to work under my car c-230 and very easy ,,I no expert ,but rake me around 2 hours to replace the new filter ,, I do not disconect nothing just, put the jack under the car, pull it out the plastic cover (10 mm) and extension, pliers to pull the clamps and done. thank you so much for make this video.

I suppose you place the relay in after the filter has been replaced and before you start the car?

I had some what looked like motor oil on that black plastic guard u took off to get to the fuel filter ? would u know what that may be ?

Gonna have to do this on my old '96 c180. I hope it's the same process, cause when you see it like this it looks so easy even I can do it :) Thanks for the vid!

Hi i need some to help what could be the problem with my C220 ,i charged throttle now my car can not hold to high idling once i start the engine .It just kick then losing high idling and but when you hold the cable for the exhilaration it couldn't stop until you live the cable that's when it stops.Just yesterday i was charging the fuel pump its behaving the same

brianIs there a video showing how to replace the fuel filter on a w210 e240 v6 1997 model.thanks

i have another question. i was looking around and noticed theres an electrical connection on the fuel pump. how do i go about taking that out?

Great video. Where is the fuel pump and fuel injector on 99 Mercedes C230 Kompressor? Could you please do a video on this make and model?

Hi, I am loving your videos, I have a C220 1996 having trouble starting, when the issue arose, it could start and rev, as soon as I put into gear (manual) the car seemed to get no fuel and died (releasing clutch) - the vehicle would then start and die shortly after, now the car refuses to start and when it does, it almost immediately dies, to try fix it, I replaced the fuel filter and tested to see that the pump was infact giving fuel, which it was. If you have any idea what I should do next,hlp

Nice, helpful video... I have a '94 C280 and started smelling gas, and noticed a puddle of fuel beneath the fuel filter dripping down from the plastic cover. Not sure exactly where the fuel is leaking from. Is it likely a hose?

Thanks very much for the video, and your others mate. I agree about the quality of the fasteners, second to none those Germans, I try to use Wurth stuff when replacing bolts/screws etc. You couldn't re-tap the hole a size or two bigger and then drill out the bracket to suit?

Great job on the video it really helped me out a lot. Do you know why would the fuel pump wire would melt? this just happened to me today and can't figure it out. I have a new one ready to install since the old one was still under it's warranty. I don't want to this problem to repeat any suggestions of why this happened?

I had the same issues with the rusted screw holding the pump and filter clamp on my CLK 230. I eventually unhooked the 4 rubber mountings and was able to get a pair of mole grips on the exposed end of the screw from above and managed to screw it clockwise i.e. undoing it after having given it a good soak in WD40. Replaced old screw with allen screw daubed with copper slip. Regarding the petrol spillage , I meticulously drained the old filter into a pot which I subsequently knocked over.....petrol hairwash.

Hey man! Have you ever did the R129 fuel pump?? Im not sure as to which pump to buy as there are 2 pumps to buy from my local oreilys auto shop

What type of fuel filter do I get?

Hey fupabox I have a2000 c230 komp its having hard starting issues then when it’s finally cranks runs smooth after letting it sit a couple hours it want start back

Great video Fupa! Tell me, my friends c200 1998 was not cracking at all after having checked if both fuel pump relay works, and starter receiving 12 volts. I had to hit the starter solenoid a bit, and it cranked finally, but didn't start up to idle. I just found that there is a leak from petrol pump rubber hose and also the aluminum/ hard hose from the fuel tank. We have to replace them and thanks for the video! Can this possible be the reason why the car now doesn't start? Also, where do i locate the starter relay in the car, perhaps its not working.

I just bought a clean 98 c230 base and I'll be the first to ever change the fuel filter and pump not that it was having any running issues but like you I figure it might be time after 23 years edit: Texas/California car no rust anywhere

Hello there it's September 5, 2014. I own a 1994 C280 Mercedes and we are trying to flush the gas tank and replace the fuel filter. Do you know if there is a gas screw plug? or if the gas can be removed from the gas cap area, please let me know

Do you still have this car? I need replacement bolts to hold on the shield over the filter help

I never clamp old rubber hoses, just plug them with a bolt. Rubber nowadays is not as elastic as back in the days so even couple years old rubber hose can easily crack if you clamp it

thank you! life saver haha

Hello very nice videos,I have one question,I bought one Mercedes w202 96' c180,before some days when start the machine at low revs the machine don't works,after that I drive for one week with no problems,but yesterday I try to start the car and nothing,at 10 efforts 1 start for 1 second and off.And I see flashing red and green light on interior mirror.exist connection with full system and this red green lights?I wait for 30 seconds to close this lights and after try to start the machine dut again nothing,thanks for your time.

Hi! I have a c230K Sport from october 1995 (193hp) and i feel that he is losing some power and i don't know why. Could the fuel filter be one of them? What else do you think that can affect his performances and that i could replace? Thank you for the video.

Whats the part number for the fuel line!!??

I just done this on my c200 '96 saloon. I'm certain the filter is original but the car had only done 40k, that's a measly 2222 per year. The fuel coming out of the filter was black, not a nice looking colour for any liquid. Everything went fine apart from the c clamp cracking a fuel hose, thankfully I noticed this right away so replaced the fuel hose. The screw that holds the filter was also very difficult to remove, I guess 18 years would do that. WD40 a screwdriver and hammer son had it turning. A question though, the whole area seemed to be covered in a thin layer of golden/champagne coloured substance. Any idea what this maybe? I am thankful the holding screw was perfect and I'm sure this layer has something to do with it. It must have been oil based because the WD40 removed it and showed perfectly clean metal underneath. Sorry for the long text, thank you for a great upload. PS. It's probably a good idea to removed the petrol cap before removing the fuel relay fuse to remove pressure.

Fupabox please help me, So I have an issue with my 1996 c280 w202. When I start it up it likes to stall out on me after about 10 seconds or so. To prevent it from stalling I need to keep my foot on the gas to get the Rps up to about 1-1500. It dosent do this every single time but 9/10 times it will. The car has been driven with this issue for years at this point and would just like to get to the bottom of it, it’s a big annoyance. These are things I’ve replaced therefore ruled out to be the issue : Vacuum leak Fuel filter Air filter Mass airflow sensor Cabin air filter Air intake temp sensor Spark plugs Coils I have a replacement knock sensor I was going to put it in but figured it would be unlikely. Even my local specialty European shop had no idea at this point as I don’t have a check engine code. I was told it may be the throttle body or throttle body controller module of some sort but was hoping not as that’s a more expensive repair. Does you have any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated!

my C180K has started to be 'lumpy' when idling, but not when moving. Can it be fuel filter or spark plugs?

Hello fupa I really hope you could possibly help me with my 97 c230. I was driving one day and shut the car off after I parked at a store. When to start the car and nothing. None of the dash lights come on when I turn the key 2 second position, all the warning lights I guess. In position 1 the stereo can play the srs light in the dash comes on for just a second. But theres no clicking or buzzing of any kind. I've checked all the fuses in the main compartment they look fine. I went to the passanger side in the engine pay and unscrewed the cover for the ecu and k 40 relay. The orange 40 amp fuse is stuck, I haven't been able to pull it out with my fingers. I haven't been able to check if the black square relay is still working properly. Do you know if there is a starter relay I could bypass? Or do you have any other things I should try?

got all the 10mm nuts off of the cover but I can't get the cover off the screws without possibly breaking it. any help would be appreciated I'm in the process of putting the new filter on right now

My c180 lost acceleration while driving but engine was running. After few meters everything stopped. It seems as if there was some fuel stoppage and what was left in there kept it running for few meters. When I tried to start again, it stared for a while then shut down. I then asked for road help to go to the garage. They put it in the truck and we reached the garadge. When they inclined the car down while offloading and started everything was OK. Would be it a problem of fuel filter ? I donot want to be in this situation again

have someone try to start the car while you hold your hand over the end of the tailpipe...you are looking for a strong puff of air being pushed through whether it runs or not...smell the air coming out to see if it smells of gas...if it smells like gas the ignition coils are possibly going bad...if there is very little air coming out,the exhaust may be plugged..likely the catalytic converter..these are just possibilities,and things to check

would someone please tell me exactly where is the fuel pump and fuel filter on a 1996 Mercedes Benz s320. thank you for any info

hello - i was wondering if and how you treated all that trust?

Did you say Motorcraft? NHOW DID YOU FIND THAT IT WOULD FIT?

fupa my car starts to tremble when my fuel gets low. Not low enough to turn the orange light but just above that. so I know the car isn't empty. what could be the problem?

Thank you so much Amigo, such detailed info.and very helpful video make you a top formula 1 mechanic, May Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior bless you!!!!

hi.fupa. My w202 fuel pump is only one year old and i think its defect again? There is no noise of the pump. I checked the relay, 12 volt ok. When I bypassed the relay with a wire, the pump also not working. I knocked at the pump - nothing.Then i felt with my hand the pump, the metal was going very very hot . A one year old fuel pump broken ? thx 4help

how did you bleed the air out of the system?

Nastee...Actually did this on my own recently and hanging aparatus while not great looked better 'n yours..(That's a first) Swapped out the pumps too as they were leaking as mentioned in an earlier. Way too many come to Jesus moments as she turns thirty....Noticed a wild screaming noise post install when fuel level goes down into reserve mode on the needle. Stops when I throw fifteen or twenty-bucks worth of gas at it... What I'm wondering is if I need to do the "accumulator" too?????? Two pumps and a filter is bad enuf so thought I would check with U b/4 laying out another $120 or so for the accumulator...Of course this noise was not apparent with the two scary leaking pumps either....( Yes, she Emma) lost inside garage privleges once those were discovered and suspect not happy in the couple of days of tropical sun-Fl sun was dead flat wicked up t'il just a few weeks ago or just after Hurricane blew up the other coast) When you get a minute...TKS.

any idea on how to remove the fuel pump?

I dont think fuel is ever that dirty - I wonder if it might be aluminium oxide?

السلام عليكم عندي مرسيدس 230 العزم ضعيف فيها لما ادعس السيارة ما بتمشي بسرعة اية المشكلة هل طرمبة البنزين ولا المنظم ارجو الرد

Some of these questions on here are funny

It's stupid to drill because the spark may ignit the gasoline.

I changed my fuel pump on my 94 c280 and now my car won't crank at all was cranking before but now nothing do you know what the problem could be

Be careful when drilling out that bolt,i accidentally hit the fuel pump and put a pin hole in it 🙈

Fupa I just spilled my gas all over my garage I couldn't clamp the hoses I depressurized and everything oh my god I'm freaking out what do I do! I feel like I ticking time bomb my sister just bought this house!

What i mean is my car is lost acceleration when i start the engine ,it cannot hold to high idling until someone hold the cable from the engine to let it not stop running ,please some help me i charged throttle and fuel pump recently

Why pull the fuse if you stop the car ?

Got a 1993 M/B 190E 2.6 with CPI.Fuel filter has 17mm brass nuts on metal line connecting to metal threaded filter end. Having trouble sealing up the tank end of new filter. any tricks or aids on sealing up these connections besides re-braking & re-torquing or using the flat white teflon tape. also been adjusting position of line & filter which has same connector type/shape as the original.
